My hermit crab has been buried for a few days and my other just unburied its self and I am worried because I found him in the other ones cave in a whole digging what should I do?

Do not panic!They move around a lot when they dig so no worries! They rarely end up where they started. There's probably a whole maze of tunnels under all our tats!

I wouldn't worry too much over it like finalfantasyxii said the odds of a crab being in the same spot it went down are very low as this is a defensive mechanism to keep themselves from being easily discovered.

Congrats! Wait, how do you know? Was it a surface molt? That requires special care.

...like Geranium said, if he surfaced molted (too long to say: why don't we call it SM or something?) you should ISO him and his exo. The other crab could go cannibalistic on him!
